I just got back from production. I'll post some shots from the shoot in the next few days. Forgot my 5 megapixel, but i did have my new camera phone.

Though relatively new to the PCF he is thoroughly knowledgeable of all aspects of his boat and PCF operations. He was instrumental in planning of highly successful Sea Lords Operations. He was cited for his performance during action against the enemy by Commander Task Force in his message 080807Z JAN 69." From Reuters:
And the Daily Koz's response to the above paragraph:
